Dear Love

Dear love, 
Remember when we were young and stupid? 
It should be known, 
As youth passed by, it snuffed out cupid. 


Dear love, 
Remember you said that only the unloved lied? 
It should be known, 
Even those lie, whose feet are tied. 


Dear love, 
Remember when you made place for me in there? 
It should be known, 
I didn’t ask to be locked in or gasp for air. 


Dear love, 
Remember how each day, I added lime to your tea? 
It should be known, 
A nod in thanks would have set me free. 


Dear love, 
Remember how the days turned into years? 
It should be known, 
I had silently begun to disappear. 


Dear love, 
Remember you said you would always love me? 
It should be known, 
Now you do it in mercy. 


Dear love, 
We’re old now and learning to forget. 
But if you look into the darkness of my eyes, 
You will find your reflection and my regret. 


Dear love, 
Remember you said that I could fly? 
It should be known, 
I took the leap but it remained a lie.
